(313) Detroit Techno Pacman
http://www.pbfb.ca/pac-mondrian/detroit_techno/ http://pbfb.ca/pac-mondrian/images/detroit_techno_map.jpg The Detroit Techno level reproduces a cartographically exact map of downtown Detroit in the style of Piet Mondrian, and marks the birth of techno in the city. The address of 1486-1492 Gratiot was known as Techno Boulevard. There the studios of Juan Atkins' Metroplex Records, Derrick May's Transmat Records, and Kevin Saunderson's KMS Studios took hold and pumped out intergalactic funk transmissions to the future. Launching the most successful cultural export from Detroit since Motown, the funk now had a raw electronic edge best described by May as what would happen if George Clinton and Kraftwerk met in an elevator. In Detroit Techno you dash into the studios of Techno Boulevard and emerge at The Music Institute, the first club to play techno. DJ T-1000 put it best: The Music Institute was Detroit's answer to such legendary house and garage clubs as New York's Paradise Garage and Chicago's Powerplant. At the beginning of this music, the MI was the only place you could hear Detroit Techno the way it ought to be heard: Loud. Bumpin. Funky. The ghost house marks the 1st Precinct of the Detroit Police Department.
Re: (313) Kerri Chandler on The 1
Does anybody know the story behind this? Why'd he do it? Was it only as a homage to the disco era? Did he put new music to reel or was he playing actual disco-era impossible to find reels?

RE: (313) Cisco's Demise
That's too bad. I remember trying to find the place (and getting lots of help from the locals) the first time I was in Japan. They had a pretty nice selection. I even ended up trading mix tapes with one of the guys that worked there (Morita Takeda Taniguchi). I still listen to that mix from time to time. I also remember having lots of fun trying to pack/stuff several pieces of vinyl in my luggage for the trip back home. I may be back in that area soon and had been looking forward to visiting the place again. There goes that idea... That really is a shame. I liked that store. Hopefully, this isn't an indicator of the Japanese techno scene. -ant- -Original Message- From: Simon Swain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 4:55 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) Cisco's Demise Word on the street from Tokyo: I know... its not good.. well, Cisco in Osaka is closing down, but they are combining all the stores in Tokyo into 1 store. So, therell be techno, house, trance, reggae in one store. Shame, I have some special memories of Cisco Techno in Shibuya.
